3 Reasons why CM Punk's AEW run has been a disappointment and 2 it hasn't

#1. Has disappointed: CM Punk may not belong with the top dogs of AEW

This is a harsh reality that many AEW fans may not like to hear - CM Punk may not belong with the top dogs. AEW's main event roster is being increasingly stacked every year. The likes of Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Adam Hangman Page, Jon Moxley, Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, and Cody Rhodes make up AEW's main event scene.

This isn't even accounting for the fact that names like Ricky Starks and Darby Allin are expected to be big stars in the future. CM Punk may never slot into the AEW main event scene, although we feel that him challenging for the world title at some point in the coming year is inevitable.

It's going to be a sink or swim moment for CM Punk when he goes up against AEW's best, and he hasn't shown any signs of being able to -- which is what has been disappointing in his run so far.

Hopefully, CM Punk proves us wrong and is able to hang with the best. Either way, his run in the main event scene may not last very long with other talent to prioritize.
